Wanted: Lens for 5 3/4" headlight
twybrow - 17/4/15 at 07:05 PM

I managed to smash my headlamp on the way to my MOT today - luckily my man is friendly and passed it in the proviso I sort it ASAP! Does anyone have a spare lens for a 5 3/4" headlight (Hella) or know where I can get one? Many thanks.

Edited to change to 5 3/4"

5 1/2"? or 5 3/4"?

try here, might be a little cheaper than others.

I have done the same - just much less close to IVA

Would be glad to hear where you get one from in the end

Yes, sorry it is 5 3/4" (the standard smaller sized headlight for 7s).

I got my replacements from AllParts.

I bought my original lenses at Stonleigh years ago, but when I tried to set them up
last year I could not ......

Turned out that the 'Chinese copies' that I bought were rubbish.

The ones I bought from Allparts were in a different league - I could tell the Chinese
ones were 'copied' from ones like them.

The bulb orientation was not good and the definition of the lenses was very poor in comparison.
